Blokes Shed

‘New sanctuary for men wanting to do what they do best –sitting round telling stories and working with tools’

Wow what a great response we had from our residents at the official opening of our Blokes Shed! We even had local MP Nathan Guy open the Men’s Shed in style, cutting the ribbon using some large gardening shears. Our residents celebrated with beer, bubbly and sausage rolls as they contemplated their next move – what to put in the shed. Resident Bruce Oliver presented Nathan Guy one of his wooden book marks.

“I’ve spent my life working with wood – it’s versatile and I enjoy carving. It will be great to have a place where I can all sit around with the other blokes and tell some lies,’’ he said.
